| | 1 | == Sandbox Template == |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | The purpose of a sandbox template is to help developers start a new Boost project, by providing them with appropriate files (such as sample source, test, example, and documentation files) and directories that follow Boost guidelines. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | Currently, the template is implemented using [http://www.dancinghacker.com/code/template FileTemplate], a simple Python-based template processor which can incorporate project-specific information (such as the list of authors and the name of the library) into the generated project. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | The !FileTemplate source is located in the [wiki:BoostSubversion Boost subversion] under the [source:sandbox/template_under_construction/] directory, with the documentation and test source under [source:sandbox/template_under_construction/file_template/], and the sandbox template under [source:sandbox/template_under_construction/sandbox/]. |

| | 13 | Please note that !FileTemplate and the sandbox template have not been heavily tested. If you are starting a new Boost project and decide to use the template, your feedback would be much appreciated!
